Hi,for free I got a nice little O.E.G bantam cock for free,turns out his color pattern is very rare:brown breasted brown red,this is not standardized in any game in the U.S.A.,but is in Britian as large,not bantam.I really would like to breed it since its so rare,but I never got a female of the same.Does anyone know someone who might have it,if not,could I cross it with similar looking O.E.G. bantam,select the best pullet from thier offspring,and breed that with the original one again,and repeat that about 5-10 times?Anything would be apreciated.

A Brown Red with a brown breast is a fault when you get too much color in the breeding pen. It can also happen if you cross a Black Breasted Red with a Brown Red.

Right,could be a rare game fowl,or a stupid cross.I'm still gonna try to breed him.
